There are many outfits offering repair kits for PCB

but all of them are $2-300. That's complete overkill for the one or
two repairs per year I might need to perform.
If I purchase a "frame" of dry-adhesive backed traces from Circuit
Medic, what are the chances of using a temperature-controlled bench
iron to bond them? Anyone have experience with this? I can see
making the $40 investment if it has even a chance of working.
Alternately, what other approaches have folks used?

Here is an outfit that sells rework kits for PCBs - and a link to the
page of Circuit Frames:
http://www.engineeringlab.com/circuitframes.html
These look very promissing, I have a rework kit from PACE dated in the
1980s that I am still working through, but this site is great - I will
be ordering some of their frames for my shop and would sell a few pads
if asked nicely...
